New Delhi, November 01: Sachin Tendulkar maybe just 36 but he is already being addressed as grandfather — by his India teammates.
Tendulkar’s teammate Yuvraj Singh paid rich tribute to the batting maestro’s longevity and his insatiable hunger for perfection, saying it would be difficult for any other player to survive the wears and tears that Tendulkar has endured.
“We have started calling him grandfather,” Yuvraj quipped last night, after guiding India to a six-wicket win against Australia in the third one-dayer.
“Even at this stage, he wants to improve with every game. For him, there is no end to getting better, no matter whatever you have already achieved. He is an amazing man and I don’t think any other player can go on to play for 20 years or more like he has,” Yuvraj gushed.
